12.3 XST-2: New parser does not accept "syn_preserve = 1" as a valid setting

Description

I am receiving the following Warning Messages in ISE Design Suite:
 

WARNING:Xst:3149 - Value "1" of property "syn_preserve" is not applicable.
WARNING:Xst:3149 - Value "1" of property "syn_preserve" is not applicable.


Solution

These warnings occur with the new XST parser for Virtex-6, Spartan-6, and later architectures.
 

The reason is that the attribute "syn_preserve" is being set to 1 as outlined in the Synplify user documentation.

/* synthesis syn_preserve=1 */;

 
To workaround the warning and to correctly apply the constraint, use the following:
 

/* synthesis syn_preserve=TRUE */;


This issue is fixed in the 14.1 release.

The following message is generated instead:

WARNING:Xst - Value "1" of property "syn_preserve" is not applicable. List of valid values is "true, false, yes, no"
